Chapter 3, Problem 96GP
The speed of a boat in still water is v. The boat is to make a round trip in a river whose current travels at speed u. Derive a formula for the time needed to make a round trip of total distance D if the boat makes the round trip by moving (a) upstream and back downstream, and (b) directly across the river and back. We must assume u < v; why?

A long jumper leaves the ground at 45 ∘ above the horizontal and lands 9.1 m away. What is her "takeoff" speed v0?Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below. If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45 ∘ with the speed calculated in A, how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land?
